Current demographical patterns predict an aging worldwide
population. It is projected that by 2050, more than 20% of the US
population and 40% of the Japanese population will be older than
65. A dramatic increase in research on memory and aging has emerged
to understand the age-related changes in memory since the ability
to learn new information and retrieve previously learned
information is essential for successful aging, and allows older
adults to adapt to changes in their environment, self-concept, and
social roles. This volume represents the latest psychological
research on different aspects of age-related changes in memory.
Written by a group of leading international researchers, its
chapters cover a broad array of issues concerning the changes that
occur in memory as people grow older, including the mechanisms and
processes underlying these age-related memory changes, how these
changes interact with social and cultural environments, and
potential programs intended to increase memory performance in old
age. Similarly, the chapters draw upon diverse methodological
approaches, including cross-cultural extreme group experimental
designs, longitudinal designs assessing intra-participant change,
and computational approaches and neuroimaging assessment. Together,
they provide converging evidence for stability and change in memory
as people grow older, for the underlying causes of these patterns,
as well as for the heterogeneity in older adults' performance.
Memory and Aging is essential reading for researchers in memory,
cognitive aging, and gerontology.
